The Hill reported that scientists said the strange lights were likely just a weather phenomenon. According to a meteorologist from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Las Vegas, there is a good chance that what visitors saw was a phenomenon known as "light pillars" because the lights in the clouds did not appear to move and the cloud temperature was low enough.

The NWS stated on its website that although long streaks of multicoloured light in the sky appear to be the ideal setting for an oncoming extraterrestrial invasion, light pillars are actually a typical phenomenon that may be seen all over the world.

The report further went on to explain that they do originate from above¡ªbut not from aliens, but rather from small ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

"Ice is made of a very thin material that has plates-like hexagonal faces. Ice falls almost horizontally as it floats in the air. The faces with the most area are at the top and bottom. Because ice is highly reflective, light reflects off more ice crystals when it strikes those larger faces. This results in these mirrors that are vertically piled and floating in the sky," it added.
